35 Spring Things to Do on LI

We Long Islanders are waiting with bated breath for the warmer weather to arrive, when we can comfortably enjoy our favorite local beaches and parks. But until then, what is there to do on Long Island on a chilly Spring afternoon or weekend evening? Lots!

Long Island has so many attractions and activities that we all take for granted or leave for the tourists to enjoy. Why not take advantage of at least a few before the crowds arrive for vacation on this amazing island we call home? And speaking of home, there’s also plenty of fun things to do without even having to leave your house.

Take our challenge and see how many new things you can do, see, and learn before the summer officially starts this Memorial Day weekend. Grab your partner, kids, friends or neighbor and pick at least one activity you’ve been dying to try.

WARNING: Trying new things can be addictive and you may not stop until you complete them all!
